[Texascavers] cleanup scheduled at TCMA's Lost Oasis Cave Preserve

[Crash Kennedy via Texascavers]

The Lost Oasis Cave Preserve in South Austin is having a cleanup day
Saturday, April 4th from 9 am until about 2 pm, or until everyone gets
tired.

All in all, we could probably use 20-30 people, considering the
multiple chores we're hoping to take care of.

There are three or four dead trees that need to be cut, and a lot of
new-growth juniper that should be thinned.  We would like to have at
least two people bring and operate chainsaws.  We need another 6-8
people to be saw attendants and draggers.  Gill Ediger is bringing the
big chipper so that we can feed these and several piles of old cut
brush into it and make mulch. Feel free to bring bags, buckets, or
tubs to take some mulch home for your yards.  We'll have plenty.

We also need to start doing more active need to do fire ant control,
so we would like several people to bring big pots and boilers (and 3-4
five-gallon jugs of water each) so we can pour boiling water on the
mounds. There is a lot of this to do -- probably 50-100 mounds, so
we'd like four or more boilers and people unafraid to haul pots. Once
we know how many boilers we can have on site, we will coordinate
picking up propane tanks for same.

And if you don't want to drag brush or carry buckets of boiling water,
we have another chore for you.  We will start thinning the profusion
of prickly pear around the cave, so bring bow rakes (garden rakes),
pitchforks, clam rakes, and other similar tools to help with that
project.

Everyone should bring gloves and dress appropriately.  TCMA will
provide coolers with beverages.

After the work is finished, Preserve Manager Chris Vreeland will be
happy to open the cave for anyone who wants to see it.  A helmet and
headlamp are required, but you don't need much else.

Contact Chris offlist at cvreel...@austin.rr.com to sign up, volunteer
for a particular task, or to get directions.

So that’s what happened!  I usually get 2 or 3 YouTube comments a month on that 
video, but suddenly in the last few hours my inbox has been flooded with emails 
from YouTube about comments and subscribers.

For those interested, the full video (featuring many more people, not just 
“Chris Lafferty’s Tight Hole” excerpt) is at:

That doesn't make it sound any better, Lyndon...

I had nothing to do with that upload. It's from a video Bennett Lee took on a 
Deep Trip in August 2012. The video is somewhere on YouTube. The comments are 
hilarious, though!
